AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
1134 AM CDT WED AUG 29 2012

.UPDATE...

A FEW CHANGES WERE MADE IN THIS UPDATE...MAINLY TO HIGH TEMPS
AND SKY COVER. OVERALL...A BENIGN WX DAY IS ANTICIPATED WITH SFC
HIGH OVER MICHIGAN AND MID-LEVEL RIDGING OCCURRING TODAY. SKY COVER
WAS DECREASED A BIT OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY...AND ADJUSTED FOR
DIURNAL CU POTENTIAL. CURRENTLY...SCATTERED ALTOCU ARE OBSERVED
ON VIS SAT AT AROUND 80-100 HFT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWA.
MID-LEVEL CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER GIVEN SOUNDINGS AND WEAK
WAA. EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES GIVEN THIS AND DEVELOPMENT
OF A FEW DIURNAL CU.

HIGHS WERE ADJUSTED AS WELL DUE TO RECENT CHANGES IN SKY AND 925
HPA TEMPS. 925 HPA TEMPS RANGED GENERALLY FROM 26 C FAR WEST TO 22 C
FAR EAST...WHICH CORRESPOND TO 90 F TO 84 F. ALTHOUGH WE WILL HAVE
ADEQUATE MIXING UP TO AT LEAST 900 HPA GIVEN SOUNDINGS...THERE WILL
BE AN ON-SHORE FLOW. AS SUCH...WITH LAKE TEMPS IN THE LOW 70S AS
SEEN FROM MODIS 8-DAY SST...DIDN\T GO THAT HIGH IN THE FAR EAST.
TEMPS OVER CENTRAL CWA WERE RAISED THOUGH...2-4 DEGREES F.

&&

.AVIATION/18Z TAFS/...

EXPECTING VFR CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE FOR THE PERIOD. SCATTERED
CLOUD COVER EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON WITH WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION.
THEN...MID LEVEL RIDGING AND DRY AIR WILL KEEP SKIES MAINLY CLEAR
FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD. WINDS WILL BE A BIT HIGHER OVERNIGHT
AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES...PREVENTING FOG FORMATION.
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS POSSIBLE AT MSN TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL
JET FORMS. HOWEVER...THE SHEAR WOULD BE MARGINAL...AS THE NAM IS
SHOWING CLOSE TO OR JUST UNDER 30 KTS OF WIND DIFFERENCE AND ABOUT
A 20 DEGREE DIRECTION CHANGE. BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED
THURSDAY...WITH GUSTS UP TO 20 TO 25 KTS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 337 AM CDT WED AUG 29 2012/

TODAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE - MEDIUM

WARM AIR ADVECTION FOCUS EXPECTED TO REMAIN JUST WEST OF CWA EARLY
THIS MRNG.  LOW LEVELS...BELOW 10K FEET EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRIER.
ALSO...CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS ON 310 THETA SURFACE REMAIN
OVER 200MB OVER WESTERN CWA THIS MRNG WITH PREDOMINANTLY NORTHWEST
FLOW. PREDOMINANCE OF MESO-SCALE MODELS KEEP ANY ACTIVITY WEST OF
CWA.  NOT IMPOSSIBLE AN ISOLD -SHRA COULD SNEAK INTO FAR WEST...BUT
WL ROLL DICE AND REMOVE SMALL POPS IN WEST.  OTHERWISE EXPECT PATCHY
MID-LEVEL CLOUDS FROM WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION TO PUSH SOUTH OF AREA
LATER TODAY.  BUILDING MID-LEVEL RIDGING AND SUBSIDENCE SHOULD
RESULT IN MORE SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON...AND TEMPS WARMER THAN
TUESDAY.  FEW WESTERN LOCATIONS MAY CLIMB TO NEAR 90F.

TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE - HIGH.

RIDGING CONTINUES TO EXPAND OVER SOUTHERN WI TONIGHT AS REMNANTS OF
ISAAC PUSHES SLOWLY NORTHWARD INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY.  TIGHTENING
GRADIENT WL RESULT IN MORE BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING AND TEMPERATURES
REMAINING MILD WITH LESS THREAT FOR FOG.

THURSDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
BROAD 591-594DM UPPER RIDGE WITH WARM SOUTHWEST 850/925 WINDS. 850
TEMPS 23-24C. TAKING ECMWF AS COMPROMISE ON 925 THERMAL FIELD YIELDS
26C IN THE FAR SE TO NEAR 29C IN THE FAR NW CWA. SOUNDINGS ARE QUITE
DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH ADEQUATE MIXING. TEMPS
SHOULD REACH WELL INTO THE 90S. IN SOME CASES THE GFS MOS DEW POINTS
ARE 20 DEGREES WARMER THAN THE NAM MOS. GIVEN THE PARCHED LOOK TO
THE SOUNDINGS WILL CERTAINLY LEAN TOWARDS THE DRIER LOOK OF THE NAM.

FRIDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE. 925 THERMAL FIELD SUPPRESSES
HIGHEST TEMPS INTO THE SOUTHWEST CWA WITH A MIN IN THE NE
CWA...THANKS TO A WEAK FRONT DROPPING IN FROM THE NORTH. STILL
VERY TOASTY WITH 90 PLUS INLAND TEMPS EXPECTED.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY - CONFIDENCE...LOW TO MEDIUM
EYES WILL BE ON THE TRACK AND SUBSEQUENT NORTHWARD EXTENSION OF
PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH REMNANTS OF ISAAC. 00Z GEM AND 00Z GFS KEEP
IT SOUTH. 12Z ECMWF WAS PRETTY AGGRESSIVE WITH THE MOISTURE PUSH
INTO SRN WI SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY. THE 00Z RUN HAS TRENDED TOWARDS
THE SOUTHERN SOLUTION WHICH KEEPS MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE PRECIP OUT
OF SOUTHERN WI. BLENDED POPS TO MESH WITH DVN AND LOT. IF MODELS
MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY IN THIS SOUTHERN SOLUTION LATER FORECASTS MAY
BE ABLE TO GO DRY.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY - CONFIDENCE...LOW TO MEDIUM
UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE WEST/EAST WITH SOME SHORTWAVE ACTIVITY
AROUND MONDAY. APPEARS UPPER FLOW MAY GO ANTICYCLONIC TUESDAY WITH
A SURFACE HIGH IN THE MIX TOO...SO A TREND TOWARDS DRY FOR TUESDAY
APPEARS PLAUSIBLE. WILL RIDE WITH THE ALLBLEND POPS.

AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...CAN NOT RULE OUT A BRIEF FOG PERIOD AT KENW
AND KUES EARLY THIS MRNG DUE TO LOW DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS AND LIGHT
WINDS BELOW INVERSION.  ANY FOG SHOULD THIN QUICKLY AFTER 12Z.
OTHERWISE...A VFR PERIOD EXPECTED FOR THIS TAF ISSUANCE. PATCHY
MID-LEVEL CLOUDS THIS MRNG FROM WEAK UPSTREAM WARM AIR ADVECTION
SHOULD THIN AS WARM AIR ADVECTION WEAKENS.  INCREASING BOUNDARY
LAYER WINDS SHOULD PRECLUDE ANY SIGNIFICANT FOG DEVELOPMENT
TONIGHT.

MARINE...TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER
SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN LATER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY DUE TO HIGH
PRESSURE LINGERING OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES AND
COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS.  STRONG LOW LEVEL
MIXING OVER INLAND AREAS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN WIND GUSTS REACHING
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS DURING THE DAY THURSDAY...HOWEVER STILL
SOME SHORT TERM MODELS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NAM AND GFS PERTAINING TO
STRENGTH OF PRESSURE GRADIENT. HENCE PER COORD WITH GRB...WL LET
NEXT SHIFT TAKE ONE MORE LOOK AT EXPECTED WIND GUSTS ON THURSDAY
BEFORE PULLING TRIGGER ON SMALL CRAFT ADVY.

FIRE WEATHER...WEATHER CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO BE REACHED ON THURSDAY WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS EXPECTED TO REACH 15 MPH OR HIGHER. AFTERNOON RH
WILL DROP TO AROUND 25 PERCENT OR LOWER AND TEMPS WILL BE WELL
INTO THE 90S. HOWEVER CFFDRS BUILD-UP INDEX REMAINS WELL BELOW 100
WHICH IS THE THRESHOLD FOR CRITICALLY DRY FUELS AFTER GREEN-UP.
WI-DNR WILL BE REASSESSING FUEL MOISTURE THIS MRNG FOR POSSIBLE
FIRE WEATHER WATCH INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN WI FOR THU.
